NOFX: 30 Years of F-ckin' Up | SXSW Music 2016Arguably the longest running and most successful independent-punk band of all time, NOFX has found a longevity no one would have expected when the band’s debut album came out in 1988. But defying the world’s expectations has been NOFX’s forté. In NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub And Other Stories, the band’s members—"Fat Mike” Burkett, Aaron "El Hefe” Abeyta, Erik “Smelly” Sandin, and Eric Melvin—open up about the band and their lives. This being NOFX, it’s hardly a staid memoir, but more like a funnier, grosser, and darker version of Mötley Crüe’s The Dirt. The band joins Kyle Ryan of The A.V. Club to talk about the book, the band, and that time Fat Mike got banned from SXSW.

Featured Session: Jessica Hopper | SXSW Music 2016For decades we've been having the same chicken-egg discussions about the music industry being a "boys club", and in 2015 there were huge, worldwide discussions about the conditions women face as they pursue their love of music--from the consumer level, to the club scene on up to the marquee heights of Bjork. Awareness of the issue is a start. In this talk, Hopper will offer simple, practical and equitable ways for anyone working in the music industry to be part of the solution, and how moving beyond the "boys club" can benefit their business.
